Filed:

Sep 26, 1988

Appl. No.:

7/248824

Inventors:

Richard Soloway - Lido Beach NY
Richard Farrell - West Babylon NY

International Classification:

H01H 1370

US Classification:

200 5A

Abstract:

A modular snap-in keypad apparatus includes a planar frame member having a plurality of button accommodating apertures and a plurality of mounting posts extending therefrom. An elastomeric key button assembly has a planar surface containing a plurality of apertures which are positioned to receive each post. The button assembly comprises a plurality of raised elastomeric button structures which extend through an associated button accommodating aperture when said posts of said frame assembly accommodates the apertures in the button assembly. A planar switch assembly has a plurality of apertures which are congruently positioned with respect to the posts to enable the contact assembly to be positioned with respect to each button so that a conductive area of the button contacts the contact assembly when the button is depressed. The contact assembly is fabricated on a Mylar sheet and has a contact area which consists of an outer partial circular contact having inwardly disposed triangular projections and an inner T-shaped contact. When a button is depressed the inner T-shaped contact contacts the outer circular contact by means of the conductive area of the button.

International Classification:

A47B 8800

US Classification:

312201

Abstract:

A detection system is disclosed for a mobile storage system which causes the storage system to prevent movement of a storage element whenever a person is detected in an aisle between storage elements. The detection system uses a presence or motion detector for detecting the presence of a person in an open aisle without direct contact between the person and the detection system. Preferably, a radar transceiver operating in X-band is positioned to overlie each open aisle to detect presence of movement of a person in an open aisle, even slight movement such as breathing. The storage system in which the detection system is connected prevents any closing movement of a storage element adjacent an aisle in which a person is detected so as to avoid frightening the person in the aisle.

International Classification:

A47B 5300

US Classification:

312201

Abstract:

A safety floor construction comprising plural floor sections suspended on springs such that each floor section is depressed whenever a person stands on that floor section while in an aisle between carriages. One or more safety switches are mounted on each carriage. The switch actuators engage the floor sections. When a floor section is depressed by a user, the switch is actuated and interrupts the motor drive circuit for the carriages. Thus, the adjacent carriages cannot move. The movable floor is constituted of individual reinforced plywood panels provided at their edges with metal which are contacted by the spring supports. Moreover, the floor panel spring supports are mounted under the rail attached to the sub floor and require no attachment to the panel.

International Classification:

H05K 118

US Classification:

174 685

Abstract:

There is disclosed a method of fabricating a folded printed circuit board. The method includes the steps of forming first and second apertures in a rigid board along a common line which line is parallel to a side edge of a board then scoring the line to form a break area for said board. The next step includes the formation of terminal areas on each side of the apertures on opposite sides of the line and forming component terminal areas for said board. Automatically inserting said components into said rigid board, while automatically inserting larger diameter wire conductors into said terminal areas to bridge said apertures, breaking the board along the scored line and folding the board with said wires across the apertures forming hinge assemblies for said board.
